These services include a tourism promotion program specifically targeted to increase tourism within the Cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, San Ramon and Dublin; and WHEREAS, on October 4, 2005, the Pleasanton City Council adopted Resolution 05- 075, a resolution of intent to establish a Tri- Valley Tourism Business Improvement District.
